Two defense witnesses took the stand Wednesday in David Camm’s third murder trial. The witnesses:

Richard Eikelenboom — The forensic scientist co-owns Netherlands-based Independent Forensic Services with his wife Selma. He told jurors Tuesday he tested clothes and other evidence that he said yielded “touch” or “contact” DNA linking Charles Boney with Kim and Jill Camm. Prosecutors cross-examined Eikelenboom most of Wednesday, mainly focusing on his credentials, the validity of the 13-year-old evidence his lab tested this year and how much it has billed the defense since the company began tests in March.

Gary Dunn — The private investigator who has worked the last nine years for David Camm’s defense team. He previously worked 27 for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, mainly from its offices in Miami, Chicago, Gary, Ind., and Bloomington, Ind. Dunn said he was initially hired by former Camm attorney Katharine “Kitty” Liell after Camm’s first conviction was overturned on appeal. He talked with Charles Boney by phone on Feb. 26, 2005, about two weeks after his DNA profile was matched to the sweatshirt found at the scene. He then interviewed Boney in the Floyd County Courthouse, testifying he’s sure he told Boney during the interview that the weapon used in the crime was a Lorcin .380. He also examined Boney’s phone records, which showed no evidence of calls to or from David Camm. The records also proved Boney communicated daily with the county prosecutor’s office before he was arrested March 4, 2005, he said.
